It's November 2, the Mets lost the World Series last night in Game 5, and I don't need a sweatshirt. I have a tiny drip in my throat that will likely go away.
Audioslave's "Original Fire" is on and I always believed it wasn't just about the people who inspired the band, but also that Cornell's 'original fire' was sort of out -- he was not an angry young man any longer at that point but he had to figure out a way to carry the fire.
More bad drivers and pedestrians abound. I thankfully made the FB light and did fine for the most part but my timing was off a bit on Tillary and it held me up from making the light. Another bad driver cut over from the Bridge lane to the off ramp lane. Dangerous. The Cult - "American Gothic"
I saved Helloween - "Heroes" for my entrance on to the ramp b/c it reminds me of the Triathlon. This was the song I had in my head most of the race. Particularly "they're all fighting through their lives" -- at that time (Sept 12) I wasn't positive I'd be back at ALM and I still had some bad vibes to purge.
I was not pedaling on the decline b/c of two people in front of me. One guy with a helmet and a woman without one. I knew they had to have been in cohoots b/c he should have passed her several times over. I can't understand why anyone would do this without a helmet and why he didn't give her his. So that was doubly frustrating -- having to see this couple slow me down while they were unsafe.
I did the ride in under 20. I worked out pretty hard yesterday morning and squatted but my legs have acclimated.
Also at end of the playlist:
Metallica - "Of Wolf and Man" (S&M version)
Blind Guardian - "The Soulforged" (live)
